About

Hi, my name’s Marie 🙂

I’m a home-baking enthusiast with a serious sweet tooth.

I’m half Danish, half Belgian, grew up in Copenhagen (Denmark), but currently live in Brussels (Belgium).I recently moved to a new apartment, and am still figuring out my new oven which runs kinda hot, resulting in sometimes slightly over-baked cakes at the moment. Ovens are temperamental. Mine sometimes makes me go ‘gaaaaaar!’ I’m now getting along much better with said oven!

I like recipes that aren’t fussy. And I think flavour is way, way more important than presentation – a fancy cake that tastes bland is the worst. The WORST! Hence, I have very mixed feelings about most cupcakes out there. I also think balance is important in a cake. You need something to cut through the sweetness, be it spices, a hint of salt, a sour note of tangy fruit, or seriously dark chocolate. Or a bit of bitter crunchiness from walnuts or some such. But I digress. This site is mainly baking recipes, but also sometimes things I’ve seen, done, or liked 🙂

This blog is about our 5 year old little boy Seth and his battle with Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (SCID). At the point of beginning this blog he is being considered for a second bone marrow transplant in order to save his life. My aim is to provide a real account of his history and progress through diary entries, pictures and videos showing that the boy makes the most of his bubble!. I, his mother, will be the main contributor to this page, but its not about me. Comment, ask questions, do whatever you please this is not my page but ours. I hope that this provides others with information on tackling a condition that 30 years ago would have lead to death. As well as giving family and friends a place to keep up to date with the news of his journey. #wearyellowforseth
